The public was invited to the annual Christmas open house at Fanningbank, Lt.-Gov. Frank Lewis's residence, on Tuesday to enjoy live music and to view the holiday decorations.
The long-standing tradition gives P.E.I. residents the opportunity to visit the 182-year-old vice-regal residence, and this year Lewis and his wife, Dorothy, welcomed guests and gave each one a Canada 150 commemorative pin.
Here are some highlight's from this year's open house.
